New MacBook Pro Keyboard is Noticeably Quieter Than its Predecessor

Apple has updated its MacBook Pro models, with faster processors that will switch performance speeds up several notches.

With a 6-core chip, 32GB RAM, AMD's Radeon Pro 580 GPU, and 4TB storage, the top-of-the-line MacBook Pro is a delight for power users.

The 2018 MacBook Pro is finally here with supercharged processors, Hey Siri, a new True Tone display and a quieter keyboard.

The 15-inch MacBook Pro model will now be powered with 8th-generation Intel Core i7 and i9 processors with six cores for up to 70% faster performance.

The 15-inch model can also handle up to 32GB of memory, and up to 4TB of solid-state storage and has superior graphics capabilities.

The Retina Displays on both MacBook Pro models also got an upgrade - the company adds the so-called True Tone for more "natural viewing experience". Rumors have been swirling for a while that Apple may redesign the MacBook Air and come out with a new, sub-$1,000 laptop in the near future.

The 2018 13-inch MacBook Pro can be spec'ed with either an Intel Core i5 or Core i7 processor with up to 2.7GHz and double the eDRAM.

Prices here start at £1,749 and £2,349.

Apple has also changed the keyboard to make it quieter but the firm has said nothing about the grain of sand issue, instead claiming that it affected only a minuscule proportion of their consumers. Both are available on the official online Apple Store with an estimated 4-6 weeks shipping time. This is possible due to Apple's specialized chip which is being referred to as the "T2". The price of secondhand models that are four to five years old remains surprisingly robust.

In addition to the new notebooks, Appleintroduced a leather sleeve for the MacBook Pro that is available in Saddle Brown, Midnight Blue, and Black, which is similar to the leather sleeves available for the MacBook.
